Finished building my aluminum Printrbot

Hey guys,

I just finished my all-aluminum printrbot. Much thanks to the Printrbot guys for such a wonderful design! I reworked things a bit to work with the different aluminum materials and machined everything on the CNC.



It has turned out to be a great little printer, as fast as I will let it go and almost silent. Very happy with the build.

Here is a video describing the build.

Holy cow!

That is exactly what I have been wanting to build. I am 99% done on my MendelMax 1.5 and would love to build this next.
I see you posted on Thingaverse. Where/when will you be updating your build changes and tunes and tweaks you picked up along the way?

Great job,
I'm currently building my 2nd mendelmax and a printrbot will HAVE to be number 3. I really like the minimalist design.

Keep up the good work!
